Is intentional touching of another person's private parts a crime of moral turpitude?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gutierrez, D069706 (Cal. App. 2017):
a crime of moral turpitude. (Brewer v. Department of Motor Vehicles (1979) 93 Cal.App.3d 358, 361.) Under all of these cases, the criminal touching of another person for the purpose of sexual arousal has been considered an act of moral depravity. Similarly, Arizona's child molestation statute, which criminalizes the intentional touching of the private parts of a child motived by an abnormal or unnatural sexual interest, qualifies as a crime of moral turpitude.
